Anyone know what happened. A half an hour stand off resulted in Naqvi retiring hurt?

Was busy typing the same question. Long period without play. Hope he's ok.

It all makes sense until you see people requesting for Dion Myers because they think he is white

Murungu name that surely?! Open a lawsuit on espncricinfo for blatant false advertising with their scorecard yo.

Half hour stand off resulting in cult hero Antum Naqvi retiring injured sounds like some crazy ass shoot out in some remote drinking saloon.

Anyone know what this is all about?

He got hit in the head by a seamer and there was a slight delay for the concussion test, but then he was claiming bad light. Here's where it gets strange, he then said he couldn't see the ball and took himself off, the opposition then eventually opted for spin to keep the game going and he then came back on and Byrom, who is a part timer, got him caught and bowled first delivery.
It seems as though the umpires did not have control of that situation at all.

[Googly]

Do they have light meters or don't they? If the light was ok then not sure how he can claim he can't see. There must be a universal light reading surely? They aren't supposed to offer the batsman the light anymore.
If as an individual, the batsman decides its beyond his ability to see and he goes off can he then come back on? And when, at the fall of the next wicket or at the end?
It's an interesting one.
I'd have thought that if the light reading was acceptable the umpires could insist he continue and if he chose to walk off then he actually lost his wicket.

[Googly]

It looks like that whole shit show took about half an hour to resolve, and the light gets worse the later it gets on this planet, so the deliberate delaying tactic worked.
It turned out to be quite a close game and that extra time may well have been a factor.
Surely a first class professional umpire should know what to do, let alone the 3rd umpire who could quickly look up the rules, assuming he had them and not a copy of H Metro.
It's the little things that are killing us.

[Googly]

ZC need to follow up on this incident and clarification is needed. It's worthy of a newspaper article by a reputable journalist, which of course are in short supply.
If a team is unwilling to bat, despite the light meter saying its safe, should they forfeit the game?

[Googly]

For day-night cricket matches, which are invariably televised, the values of illuminance provided are typically 1,000 lux at the wicket with a trade-off through the outfield to approximately 650 lux at the boundary. For normal daytime cricket Ð ie that played without the aid of floodlighting, the level of illuminance at which the umpires tend to offer the batsmen the opportunity leave the field because of 'bad light' is typically 1,000 lux."

I just found the following which seem to reinforce the 1000 lux figure:

Moonlight 1 Lux
Dim Room 40 Lux
Office/Classroom 500 Lux
Cloudy Day 10,000 Lux
Sunny Day 100,000 Lux
